We will reach Ézaro, where the river Xallas falls into the sea forming a waterfall, the Ézaro waterfall, probably the most famous in Galicia and unique in Continental Europe.

From here we will go along the coast and our next destination will be the Cape of Fisterra (Finisterre). End of the world for Romans and Greeks and border between the world of the living and the dead for Celtic cultures.

On the way back to Santiago we will stop to visit one of the largest barns on the Costa da Morte. The "Hórreo" of San Martiño de Ozón dates from the 16th century, making it the oldest of the giant Cabaceiros in Galicia.
